Footage has emerged of Danny Worsnop making his live return to Asking Alexandria.

The video was shot at Seattle’s Showbox SoDo – the first show on their 10 Years In The Black tour.

The reunion was confirmed at the weekend, following a breakdown in relations with Worsnop’s replacement Denis Stoff, who’d joined in 2015.

Asking Alexandria’s Seattle setlist excluded all songs from latest album The Black their only record featuring the Ukrainian musician. Fans on social media have commented on the fact that nothing from The Black was performed and that a number of tracks not played live in years were included.

Guitarist Ben Bruce reported that Stoff had “just stopped talking” to the band – but the singer hit back later, saying: “I left AA because I can’t be in a touring band at this point in my life. There’s no drama and I don’t want to be a part of it.”

Asking Alexandria also recently confirmed they’d already started recording a new song with Worsnop.

Matt Good – who’s a member of Kill It With Fire alongside Bruce – has revealed studio work is in progress.

Good said: “Mixing an amazing new Asking Alexandria song at the moment featuring the return of Danny, who absolutely crushed the vocals. Damn damn.”

Worsnop said of his return: ”I’m now in a place mentally where this is something I can embrace again, with the men I started this crazy journey with. It’s a beautiful nostalgia that feels like nothing ever changed.

“All I can speak to is my excitement to be working with my old and dear friends, playing music we made for a decade that we are here to celebrate.”
